BrainStim Centers orders a second Nexstim NBT System with SmartFocus TMS
Nexstim Plc (NXTMH:HEX, NXTMS:STO) ("Nexstim" or "Company") announces that BrainStim Centers, US has ordered a second Nexstim NBT System with SmartFocus TMS technology.
The first NBT system was first placed for evaluation at BrainStim Centers' clinic in Valencia, California in spring and the clinic purchased it in August. Now BrainStim Centers has ordered a second system to their other clinic in Encino, California.
Dr. Mark A. Liker from BrainStim Centers commented: "As a neurosurgeon, I recognize that the accuracy of my equipment means the difference between an effective and ineffective treatment. My patients rely on this as well. The Nexstim SmartFocus TMS system is the only one that provides me with the consistent precision I require when treating depression. Many have relied on either medication or therapy and this offers an innovative option on the road to recovery."
Dr. Liker adds: "The ability to noninvasively target critical brain pathways associated with a variety of diseases offers extremely exciting potential treatment avenues"
Mikko Karvinen, CEO of Nexstim, said: "We are extremely happy that BrainStim Centers decided to order a second system. The clinic is relatively new and started depression treatments successfully with Nexstim SmartFocus TMS in spring. We are proud to be part of their story. This is a great example how our unique business model helps to grow both our customer's business as well as ours."
